"Excitement is the more practical synonym for happiness, and it is precisely what you should strive to chase."

I'm a UX & UI designer with a Digital Media background. Currently spending my days in Hyper Island.

I hold a bachelor degree in Digital Media (2014). But before that I used to make short films, some of them have been featured in Stockholm Film Festival and Sveriges Television. I also worked in San Fransisco as a Media Producer for Gaming Electronic Monthly where I covered games & events, and I also worked at 1UP.com a gaming website where I created digital content such as video & audio podcasts and helped with the digital marketing.

Right now I'm looking for an internship where I can be creative and use all my skills that I have learned during these years, because that's what excites me.

Mighty We

We had to do something that could help with creativity. So we made an creative step by step guide app with an inspirational art. It has steps from creative methodologies which will help people through their creative process.

What's For Dinner?

We had to learn swift and do an iOS app. So I made an app that gives you suggestions from popular food blogs where you can add them to your cookbook or swipe it away to get another suggestion. You can follow your friends and see what they have found and also follow famous Chefs to see what they are liking.

WWF

WWF felt that they were losing the young adults and that their sections that they where interested in was overshadowed by their animal movement. We needed to find a way to connect to them and highlight the other sections.

We made an app where we showcase all the sections that WWF has and where you can choose small projects on each section to donate to. Each project will come with a video where they pitch what they want to use the funds for. Instead of using the word donate we used the word "love". If you love a project you will get weekly video updates until the project is done.

Nordea

The client for this project was Nordea and IBM. We had to make something new that they haven't thought about.

The Nordea app is where we make budget and money managing more visual. A way for them to glance at their budget through the notification center. And we also made a system where users can buy shares together and the bank giving them news and updates through a social feed.

TaskRunner

The client for this project was TaskRunner. We had to make the service more on demand and make the user journey shorter. As well as encourage the users to use both sides of the service.

The TaskRunner app got more sociable and the service got more instant with our new features. It also made the user journey shorter as everything is in one menu and not two. We also added a favorite list to make the reoccurring task go faster.

The Absolute Cube

The client for this project was Absolute. We had to experiment with different types of hardware platforms and design solutions that meet the criteria of the brief; "Build the future of connected nightlife."

The Absolut Cube is a BLE connected service device for restaurant guests and staff. Simply flip The Cube to your desired choice, The Cube then lights up to get attention of the waiter. Simple, interactive and efficient!

Absolut Cube was awarded 'Best Business', the prototype most likely to make it into a finished product.
